My first car continues to sit in the garage albeit in a dismantled state. Bought it in 1978, age 15 for $400. That TR250 provided much practical body work knowledge and gave my father and I a shock when we looked at the frame (rotten trailing arms). It is amazing looking back at how that car had physically deteriorated in its first 10 years prior to my purchase. Wish I had the money and knowledge that I have now. Could have probably put the car back together with "factory" parts...Oh well. Several others have since joined the ranks in my "collection." Junk to some, jewels to others!
